A case report of endomrtrial carcinoma by DA Vinci robotic surgical system

Abstract

: Endometrial carcinoma is one of the most common cancers in the female reproductive tract, which affects women’s health seriously. It is of vital important for patients of endometrial carcinoma to undergo surgery treatment, since most patients are in the early stages of the disease when they are first diagnosed with good prognosis. At present, the commonly used surgical methods for endometrial cancer include traditional open surgery, laparoscopic surgery, single-hole endoscopic surgery, and robot surgery system, which brings new hope for the disease treatment. As a new advanced technology, robot-assisted surgery (RAS) has shown a few of advantages over traditional surgery, especially it can not only overcome complex anatomy, low exposure, surgical precision, and fixing lymph node, but also decrease the incidence of postoperative complication. We reported a 52-year-old patient with endometrial carcinoma complained of 2-month history of vaginal bleeding. After undergoing endometrial sampling with hysteroscopy, the patient was diagnosed that the mass was located in the border of cervix and uterus cavity. Successfully, the patient was preoperative diagnosed as endometrial carcinoma (type II, stage II) and accepted radical hysterectomy (type II), omentum resection, pelvic and abdominal para-aortic lymphadenectomy with DA Vinci robotic surgical system. The aim of this video is to describe the use of this kind of surgery, and share our experience of DA Vinci robotic surgical system.
